Exam Time

“One about exams please – I need help getting through the revision!”


My life is not my life.
I am the reaver of essays,
Haunter of libraries.
 
All I need is in my hands.
The words creep from the pages
Into my worn out palms
Memorization by osmosis.
 
It’s later. Piles of papers.
Surrounded, I focus.
The time of night slows to legato blurs.
Eyes feeling the weight of moons.
 
The fuel of Hermes is here. 
Coffee flows free like earthen faeries.
Now from my shady desk, I rise.
Untrapped knowledge hastens forth, 
And the ceaseless papers shrink in fear. 
 
Somberly, I sip on the words
And the morning meanders forward. 
Plucky people brush past, as my exam pulls me-
into a new madness wherin I wallow.
